Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.159 - Herbal Hall
"Sorry before Mr. Yang Xiang, but if you may ask, why are you so kind to Young Master Jin Tian?" Ask Ou Leng.
Ou Leng had already seen how Jin Tian had grown from childhood until now, he had never known that Yang Xiang had ever met or been close to Jin Tian before, either, to make the Alchemist Master so good to Jin Tian.
"That's because..." Yang Xiang looked up, his gaze glaring into the past making his eyes look start to watery "I previously had a grandson, he was very good also talented in alchemy, he was very good at, but for one thing he's dead!"
Yang Xiang turned his head towards Jin Tian "My grandson is very similar to Junior Jin Tian, because that was before when he saw junior Jin Tian being beaten by someone, this old man thoughtlessly saved him, because that was the case, he really reminds me of my granddaughter!"
Yang Xiang sighed.
It could be seen that Ou Leng and Jin Tian were moved to hear a short story from Yang Xiang.
What a loving grandfather. That's what they think.
Yang Xiang sighed "Haiih, I actually really want to help you, junior Jin Tian. However the herbal ingredients I need are extremely rare and rarely found, so I can't make those pills for you!"
"As for the herbal ingredients, Mr. Yang Xiang need not worry, we have many high-grade herbs, there are even many herbs that we do not know what kind. So maybe some of those herbs you need!" said Ou Leng.
"Oh, really?"
Ou Leng nodded "Of course, if you'd like, let me take you to our treasure room where all the herbs are stored!"
After which, Ou Leng led Yang Xiang towards the treasure room. Ou Leng did not realize that Yang Xiang was now smiling cunningly.
"Treasure room, let's see what it contains!" yang Xiang muttered in his heart.
***
Upon arrival at the treasure room which was above the door of the room there was a sign that read 'Herbal Hall', Ou Leng brought Yang Xiang in.
Entering the room, the two of them could immediately smell the fragrant aroma of the herbs there, although it could be seen that all the herbs were stored in a glass box placed on an elongated and terraced shelf.
"Master Yang Xiang can choose the herbal ingredients you need, if there is nothing suitable then we will go up to the 2nd floor!" said Ou Leng.
Yang Xiang nodded then walked around looking at the herbs he needed.
After a few minutes, Yang Xiang had already chosen a dozen herbs.
"There are only complementary herbal ingredients, there are absolutely no main ingredients that I need. Even the ingredients are still not all I got!" Yang Xiang sighed.
"What, just a complementary material!" Ou Leng was shocked in his heart.
All of the herbs that Xiang Yang took were tier 4 to tier 5 herbs that were arguably all rare herbs in the Ming Empire, but they were all just complementary ingredients only.
But come to think of it, perhaps it was a natural thing, since a pill that could cure a Dantian would definitely require the highest level of herbal ingredients.
"Then I deliver it to the 2nd floor, there are plenty of tier 6 herbs!" said Ou Leng.
The scenery on the 2nd floor was not much different, but the aroma of herbs was more concentrated because all the herbs there were tier 6 herbs, there were even some tier 7 herbs.
Yang Xiang kept going around looking and looking at all the herbs on the 2nd floor, naturally each step was guided by Ou Leng. For a dozen minutes walking around, he only took 3 herbs.
"I didn't expect the Fire Mountain Sect to have this many high-tier herbs, with this many herbs the Fire Mountain Sect should be able to become the strongest in the Ming Empire in such a short period of time!" said Yang Xiang.
Ou Leng laughed awkwardly before answering "We don't actually have a high tier alchemist who can refine all high tier herbs into pills, there are even many herbs that we don't know what kind and usefulness they are, either, that's why the development of our sect cannot be as fast as Master Yang Xiang imagined!"
"Oh" Yang Xiang nodded "Then, what if I become an alchemist in this Fire Mountain Sect and refine all of these herbs?"
Yang Xiang's words made Ou Leng surprised. The thing that Yang Xiang offered was what he wanted.
"If indeed Lord Yang Xiang feels no objection to being an alchemist in our Sect, then of course we will accept it!" Ou Leng cupped his hands with a wide smile "Welcome to join the Fire Mountain Sect!"
"Hahaha, thank you Elder Ou Leng. Distilling many high-tier herbs like this was a great opportunity for an alchemist, so naturally I don't mind!" Yang Xiang also cupped his hands "But wouldn't it be better to ask the Sect Chief's decision first?"
"It doesn't matter that Lord Yang Xiang, now the Sect Leader is in closed cultivation, so later I will discuss it with the other elders. I'm sure the elders won't mind either!" Ou Leng smiled wider and wider, feeling pleased that he could finally truly recruit Yang Xiang.
"By the way, how is Mr Yang Xiang? Did you get all the materials you needed?"
"I only get all the ingredients. Only the main ingredients are lacking!"
Yang Xiang's reply made Ou Leng stunned. Though the 3 herbal ingredients that Xiang Yang took were herbs level 6 to level 7, but it was only a complementary ingredient.
"Then we head to the 3rd floor only, Mr. Yang Xiang. On the 3rd floor was a place where herbs that we did not know of were located!"
After which, the two of them walked towards the 3rd floor.
***
The 3rd Floor of the Herbal Hall.
The 3rd floor has more herbs than the 1st and 2nd floors. Indeed out of all the herbs that the Fire Mountain Sect obtained in the Purple Sky Sect, there were more herbs that they did not know of their type.
Ranging from tier 1 to tier 8 herbs, they were all on the 3rd floor.
In his heart, Yang Xiang smiled cunningly, because he himself desperately needed all those herbs, of course he would take them all, certainly with careful planning.
This time, Yang Xiang was leading the way, he knew all kinds of herbs on the 3rd floor and explained some of the benefits of those herbs to Ou Leng.
Ou Leng seemed amazed to know the benefits of each of the herbs that Yang Xiang described.
Ou Leng felt that his decision to recruit Yang Xiang was right. Without knowing that he had put poison into his own sect that would make his sect destroyed.
The poison was of course Yang Xiang, or it could possibly be called Xiang Yang.
